Final Year Project(s)

With nostalgia and a sense of loss, Grilles By Rote project serves as a memoir of the memories people hold of local steel window grilles produced in the 1900s. Through a tapestry sliding screen system, these grille aesthetics are assimilated into modern living space to habitually help people grow awareness and understanding of these almost forgotten grille designs, which form an integral, yet overlooked part of our shared Singaporean heritage.
